I love to see the fireworks but Taz (our doodle) does not. He shakes and hyperventilates and alternates between squeezing into a corner and hiding or racing around the house bug-eyed, freaking out. So, we don't go anywhere to watch fireworks anymore. We stay home with him, I wrap him up in a (homemade) thunder jacket which helps to soothe him a bit but he still gets very freaked out and shakes/trembles all night until they stop, usually around midnight. So today we will out visiting family and he'll get to run around a lot there and then I'll take him for a long walk and swim after dinner to help tire him out before the trauma starts.
